PATRACO'S THROTTLE/BRAKE AND COMPRESSION BRAKE VALVE
Throttle/Brake, a Patraco product designed to allow the rider to actuate his compression release by simply shut ting his throttle a bit beyond the idle position, is offered in conjunction with a Compression Brake Valve. The Throttle/Brake is machined from a solid block of lightweight aluminum and carries a lifetime guarantee against breakage. The Compression Brake Valve acts as a conventional compression re lease but has a dual valve design to neutralize combustion chamber pres sures only on the upward strokes. Thus, it is claimed to provide twice the engine braking action of conventional compres sion releases. Any head that has been drilled to accommodate a conventional compres sion release will accept a Compression Brake Valve. The cable, which fits the valve in three different positions, may be removed while the valve remains in the head. Price for the Throttle/Brake alone is $24.95; the Compression Brake Valve alone is $16.95. Together, the price is $39.95. Available from Patraco, Dept. CW-2, 1801 Border Ave., Torrance, CA 90501, or J.C. Industries, Dept. CW-2, P.O. Box 1992, Silver Spring, MD 20902.
